Employees expect privacy on mobile devices

Smartphones hold increasing amounts of sensitive personal data. Every device is now a mixed-use device. As a result, businesses must protect employee privacy as fiercely as corporate security.

The widespread use of mobile devices for work has driven a profound change in how employees think about the privacy of their personal data on mobile devices. This white paper takes the findings from the 2015 Trust Gap Survey and translates them into actionable recommendations for employers in the form of privacy-centric mobile device policies.

Trust Gap Survey methodology
From December 17, 2014 to January 22, 2015, Harris Poll conducted an online survey on behalf of MobileIron of 3,521 full- or part-time workers who use a mobile device for work purposes in France (502), Germany (501), Japan (503), Spain (500), UK (503), and US (1012). Gen M (1,702) is defined as those who are male aged 18-34 or those with children in the household under 18. The sample was weighted to the populations in each country by age, race/ethnicity, education, region, and household income data. MobileIron issued the original Trust Gap Study in July 2013, and the Gen M Study in April 2015.
